Baden Powell : Tristeza On Guitar : Aquarium Drunkard
While much of the Brazilian pop-music scene was caught up in the groundbreaking fusion of traditional folk stylings with Rock and Roll, Baden Powell was lingering further in the past. Tropicalia was taking the underground by storm; applying fuzz guitar, jazzed out sensibility, and tongue-in-cheek humor to far more danceable and groove-oriented cuts than the Anglo-American scene could comprehend. But prior to Os Mutantes massive breakthrough, Powell was working through his own vision of Brazil’s emergence into the mainstream. In 1966, Tristeza on Guitar was released as an essential first step on the road to full-blown Tropicalia.

Listen: LEUS - "Modern Preacher" -- Obscure Sound
“Modern Preacher” is the emotive debut single from Tel Aviv-based artist LEUS, who projects themes of persevering into love and self-acceptance. “I made this to touch foreign hearts, and I hope it touches yours,” LEUS writes. The track releases alongside a video crafted in collaboration by Israeli-Ukrainian cinematographer Daria Turetski, streaming below. A sense of perseverance is apparent from the get-go, with an opening lyrical emphasis on things like “blindfolds set in place,” and backs against the wall. The culminating “still wish I was with you,” yearning is punctuated enjoyably by a tender guitar styling, as bristling percussion adds further
Listen: Andrew Schneider - "Hideaway" -- Obscure Sound
Value Set! by Andrew Schneider Intertwining nostalgic sophisti-pop with a modern pop charm in the vein of Jerry Paper, “Hideaway” is a new single from Chicago-based artist Andrew Schneider. A ’60s inspiration is also apparent in the stylized backing vocals. Overall, the debonair, stylish production and melodic songwriting stands out with consistency; it has us firmly anticipating Schneider’s upcoming EP, Value Set!, releasing on June 30th. A vibrant range of guitars and keys build enjoyably into Schneider’s reflective vocals and Latin-inspired hand percussion. “They spent their summers, since they were young,” he sings, furthering the sense of wistful nostalgia. The
Listen: Joshua Woo - "Someone's Star" -- Obscure Sound
Moody synth-rocker “Someone’s Star” is the latest success from Joshua Woo, who continues a strong string of releases following last year’s EP, Beyond The Glass. The London-based artist produced, wrote, and performed the track on his own, describing the effort as “about the perils of becoming overly ambitious to the point you forget what’s important in life.” Assuming a darker, more brooding tone than several previous singles, “Someone’s Star” achieves a hooky energy nonetheless. Spacey synth reflections are quickly joined by an ardent guitar push, as Woo’s vocals reflect a state of indecision — “Asleep in a dream, awake in
Listen: Flemish in the North - "Daisy" -- Obscure Sound
Another serene delight from Arlington-based act Flemish in the North, “Daisy” weaves caressing guitar twangs and dreamy vocals amidst a calming synth-touched soundscape. An emotive vocal reflection emerges prior to the second minute. “Break me into pieces,” they let out, with the chilling backing textures cohesively guiding into sharp-cutting guitar infusions. The tender guitar work and overall atmospherics converge beautifully for a blissful finale. The project also impressed with preceding singles “Snow Crocs” and “Jonathan Ames.” The former’s jazzy percussive hints and the latter’s folk-minded direction showed well, as does the jangly and lush contemplative pull of “Daisy.” This trio
